Sekonic l-358 Lightmeter Question

Hello, i just got this used lightmeter from someone. I have a question about the aperture. It's currently on shutter priority mode right now, when i measure, theres a smaller number that shows up next to the aperture. the manual says its the 1/10 F Stop. But im a little confused, whats the point of that?

You can download the instruction book here http://www.sekonic.co.uk/Brochures.htm, as Mike says Its the way you configure the dip switches in the battery compartment so it reads to the nearest half stop, I use a 358 and it's a wonderful meter, enjoy.

My apologies for going a little off-track here -- I don't have an answer to your question. My question is to you (and anyone else with experience with the L-358), and a little more self-serving... How do you like the meter, so far, as I'm looking to purchase the same one -- for ambient, incident readings, with potential for mixed ambient/flash, later on?

a.horodysky: np. I just got this meter 2 days ago so i haven't had much time to play with it. But i got a really good deal for it, only $50, i took it asap But i did do a lot of research on it, seems like most people are very happy about this meter. people here can probably tell you more

In my first post I was bemoaning the larger size, more awkward handling, and greater complexity of the 758 vs. the 358. They are both very accurate and reasonably rugged, but if I were buying today I'd go with the 358.
